This course is for anyone looking to build their own Android applications. Ever since Google announced that Kotlin is the language of choice for Android development, Kotlin has become increasingly popular.

In this course, you’ll take a hands-on, project-based approach to developing Android applications. You’ll work with the most common tools that Android developers use every day, including Kotlin, Groovy, and XML. As you learn, you’ll build a fully functional Travel Blog Application that will be a great addition to your portfolio.

By the end of this course, you’ll have tangible experience building an Android application and be ready to build even more complex projects.
